Morten Frost

Morten Frost Hansen, born on 4 April 1958, is a Danish badminton player and later coach who represented Denmark on the national team from 1976 to 1991, longer than anyone else. He spent twelve years in the top three of the world rankings, and although he never won the World Championships, taking silver in 1985 and 1987, he won many All England Open, European and Nordic titles. He also won every one of the invitational Grand Prix tournaments at least once, including the Denmark Open, which he won from 1980 to 1986 and again in 1989. He is noted for exceptionally smooth and fluid footwork and was inducted into the BWF Badminton Hall of Fame in 1998. After he stopped playing he coached the Danish national team and later worked with the national teams of Malaysia and South Africa.
